Cecilie

Cecilie is a name that has an amazing, almost hard-to-believe origin story. The name Cecilie originates from the Roman family name Caecilius. The meaning of Cecilie is ‘blind,’ or ‘of the Caecilius family,’ or it can also mean ‘heavenly lily’ from the ancient Latin words Coeli and Lillia. However, the reason behind the name Cecilie becoming so popular over the last centuries is not related to the Roman empire at all. St. Cecilia, the patron saint of music and musicians, is a revered figure in Christianity and the followers of Christ. Her inspiring life story is why many parents name their children Cecilie. According to Roman mythology, Caeculus, or the little blind boy, was the son of Vulcan. Vulcan is known as the God of fire in Roman mythology. Caeculus showed total mastery over the element of fire. But the smoke from the everlasting fire damaged his eyes, and he turned blind. Caecilius became a family name carried forward by the descendants of Caeculus through the middle ages. Caeculus later got the variation of Cecilie. Cecelia, Cecilia, and Cecil are some of the top variants of the name Cecilie.
